24 Weeks Until Christmas

Christmas in July is traditionally a fun time at the North Pole but so far it’s been all business.

The news at North Pole Flight Command is really starting to come out. Santa’s sleigh has resumed test flights, the North Pole Navy has been deployed and the tracking map has now gone live for elves at SantaTrackers.net.

We also know that the contracts for all the Regional Tracking Centers have all been signed. North Pole Flight Command just announced that. So we should learn about where those locations are in the coming days. Elf Clif tells me he gets to announced Sector 2 first. So stand by for that news.

Elves Frank and Crash have news to share, but Crash told me not today. That kind of disappoints me but it has something to do with the Elf Supervisors and Crash says he’s got to wrap up some things with them before he and Elf Frank can get on the radio.

Speaking of the radio, the Kringle Radio Replay of Santa’s flight from last Christmas is coming up on July 23rd. That’s two straight days of Christmas music and North Pole Radio News as it was broadcast last Christmas Eve. Always a fun thing to hear that replayed in the summer. It gets me excited for THIS year’s broadcast.

We’re getting a lot of questions about Santa and what he is doing. I caught up with him over at the Sleigh Barn and he confessed he has a big surprise for elves this month. But he’s not ready to announce it.

I also heard our first chat for Christmas in July with Elf Crash didn’t happen this week as expected. Something to do with the chatroom glitching. I’m told they are working on it and should have it resolved by next weekend. We’ll let you know.

Whew. That was a lot of stuff.

Stand by for more news. It’s gonna come at you real fast.
